MorphAdorner incorporates methods for hyphenating English words
written by David Tolpin. The algorithms are based upon those
originally written for the TeX typesetting system created by
Donald E. Knuth. The rules for hyphenation differ somewhat
between American English and British English. American English
breaks words on sound, while British English breaks words on
the origin of the word, then sound. There are also many exceptions.

MorphAdorner uses the British approach as a default since MorphAdorner
has been used mostly to analyze British literature up to now. However,
tables are provided which define the American rules as well.
